William Wynder

City Attorney, Rancho Palos Verdes

Of Counsel, Aleshire & Wynder

Mr. Wynder is one of two named partners instrumental in
forming the Firm in 2003. For some 21 years since then, Mr.
Wynder has dedicated his practice to public service,
representing and advising a host of cities, planning
commissions, successor agencies, housing authorities, and
special districts. Over the span of his 40-plus-year legal career,
Mr. Wynder has specialized in the fields of municipal
governance, land use & zoning law, general public law,
municipal litigation, constitutional torts, and election matters.
Mr. Wynder has served as City Attorney in five cities, with an
average tenure of close to 15 years providing legal advice to
these communities. Prior to December 2023, Mr. Wynder
served as the City Attorney for the cities of Glendora, nestled at
the base of the scenic San Gabriel Mountains, and Rancho Palos
Verdes, located on the Palos Verdes Peninsula overlooking the
Pacific Ocean (you may have read about the landslide
devastating this beautiful community). Last December, Mr.
Wynder stepped down as a "full-time" partner. While he
continues in his role as City Attorney for the City of Rancho
Palos Verdes, Mr. Wynder will work on special projects for the
Firm, including such matters as assisting the City of Carson in
the enforcement and collection of its Oil Industry Business
License tax involving that city's major oil refineries. Mr. Wynder
is looking forward to enjoying more time pursuing his outside
interests. He, and his wife Carol, are the parents of seven
children and the grand-parents of 17 perfect grand-children.
